The premise, in the publisher's words

Heaven, hell, the celestial realm, the underworld, fairyland... people have always sensed the existence of other worlds, giving them many names.Yet these worlds were never separate – they are all connected, part of an infinite whole.Many worlds are unaware of this truth.Rather, people believe in the apparently self-evident truth that their world is the only one. Heedless of people’s thoughts on the matter, the connected worlds continue to influence one another, forever in flux. And now, the stage is set for new change to arrive on the shores of the connected worlds.
